Description
English: Col. W. Blake Crowe, commanding officer, 7th Marine Regiment, passes a piece of birthday cake to Lance Cpl. Christopher M. Wilson during a ceremony Aug. 14, 2006, in recognition of the unit's 89th anniversary. Marine tradition dictates during such anniversary celebrations for the oldest Marine present to cut the cake, and pass it to the youngest Marine present � symbolizing the passing of the unit's history and traditions from one generation to the next. The Twentynine Palms, Calif.-based unit, designated Regimental Combat Team 7 while deployed to Iraq's Al Anbar Province, was formed during World War I in Philadelphia, Pa. The recent ceremony included a cake cutting, a reading of the regiment's history and lineage, and Crowe's comments. �What was the first regiment who came over here in �91? 7th Marines,� said Crowe. �What was one of the first regiments who got called out during OIF I? 7th Marines.� Crowe, 48, was the oldest Marine present, while Wilson, an 18-year-old field radio operator from Danville, Va., was the youngest.
